Failures
Can be caused by:Time not being accurate on you machine – check it!
Err on the side of being slow Gsissh creates a short-lived proxy and if your machine is ahead of ours, you will be trying to use a proxy that cannotbe accepted by our machine.
If you don’t know what “proxy” means, take a look at our NGS induction course, latest version was given in Manchester in January – see http://www.nesc.ac.uk/training/events
